At San Diego Comic-Con, Damon said there'd be a "brain frying" moment mid-season. I'm going to assume this episode is it.

If it isn't I'd fear what the real brain frying moment may be. :eek2:

i hope this was it, at least, i hope the characters dont reboot and start acting like the lady in the store, that would be too much

If it's not, I'm gonna wind up in an insane asylum.

Well, I do smell burnt toast. Yup, I think it's my brain. :eek2:

Ha ha, too true. But isn't the brain frying moment supposed to come in epi 12 or am I thinking of something else?

CR, I thought of you as I watched this episode. Can you say "Watchmen Approach"? Holy Doc Manhattan homage!!

fried, burnt AND toasted! :toast:

:egghead: <-----this was my brain approx. 1 hr ago

:friedegg: <-----this is my brain now!

WE HAVE A FRIED EGG ICON! WHOO-HOO!

Yes, my brain is DEFINITELY fried. I felt like I sat through an entire day's worth of very difficult college classes at the end of tonight's episode. Not to mention that I kept saying "WHAT? I'm so CONFUSED!" during each commercial break :rolleyes:

I'm not sure this is it CR. I think this is definitely leading us to it, but something tells me we're in for a bumpier ride than we just experienced.

(That is freakin' awesome if that's the case, IMHO...)

All I can hear is the sound of sizzling and the smoke detectors going off.

Hard to say if this was THE brain frying moment....but TPTB definetly said THIS about it:

Desmond is also the subject of a flashback device employed "in a way we never have before and never will again," hints Lindelof. "It'll either blow people's minds or chase them away for good." Source: Entertainment Weekly (http://www.ew.com/)

So....take that for what it's worth...All I know is...while watching this eppy...I was gettin kinda pissed they were spending so much time in flashback land...But by the end...I didn't WANT to get back to the island!! I kept waiting for that old lady to show up and drop some more Brain Fry Bombs.

But...I have to imagine there will be a bigger Brain Fry moments than this in upcoming eppys.

My Mom who is just getting into LOST calls and asks What is going on??? My anwser was :34853_huh: Uhhhhh I Don't Know??? My brain is FRIED from this episode!! :34853_huh:

My brain is definitely frying to the point where I'm unsure whether I'm posting coherently or not.
If this wasn't the moment and it's still to come, we are all going to be bug-eyed, freaked out and and posting in capital letters when it happens!

I went back and found the quote about the game-changer, which I assume is the same as the brain-fryer.

Is it too early to be talking about Lost's return in three months? Heck, no! According to series cocreator Damon Lindelof, "two bombs" will be dropped shortly after the island thriller resurfaces on February 7. "One is a character bomb, and that will happen within the first three episodes after the break," Lindelof reveals. "And the other is a more significant story bomb-- a game-changer that will happen shortly after."

If tonight wasn't that moment, I need some serious meds.

I think the rest of this season is going to be crazy. Maybe that's why the first six eps. seemed so slow; TPTB didn't want to cause all of their viewers to go into cardiac arrest.

My sister's brain is definitely a little bit fried, we are just talking about last night's episode and she said at the end of it she felt like she wasn't real!!!! We are still laughing about that! she felt like desmond felt, like she was in a different world!!
that's what desmond does to alot of women!!!

PEN OH MY GOSH ARE YOU EATEN ALIVE

THAT WAS FREAKIN KRAZY.

I am still reeling.

Last night, I really was wishing I hadn't had that second martini!!!!!!

Fried??? I don't know about you people, but mine's been scrambled, and served along with hash browns!!!

I really hope that was the brain frying moment. Otherwise I think I'll be checking myself into the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute.

Oh yeah totally, I still don't exactly know what I'm typing right now, I hope I've recovered by next Wed otherwise we could be doubly fried!!

I wouldn't say my brain is fried. The flashback/dream was rather ambiguous, for sure, but I wouldn't label it as brain-frying.

I don't know if it's fried, so much as, it hurts alot thinking through this episode.

I'm not sure this is it CR. I think this is definitely leading us to it, but something tells me we're in for a bumpier ride than we just experienced.

I agree! Yes, the show can get very confusing, but to me that just makes it all the more better. Bring on the mystery! :biggrin:
